Dödölle, with Spring Onions and Porcini

Here I am with a new post about Hungarian recipes. And it’s another one I really like it 🙂 Dödölle are, let’s say, kind of gnocchi, but they are then usually cooked in a pan with pork lard until they make a nice crust. Usually they are served as a main dish with a lot…

Coq au Vin – Braised Rooster

This is one of the most iconic recipes of the French cuisine, not only because the “coq” is their national symbol, but because this recipe is really a masterpiece if properly executed. It’s an old recipe with a long history and tradition, that dates back when it was common to have roosters at home, or…

Risotto With Chanterelles and Asiago DOP Cheese

Linguine con Finferli (Pasta with Chanterelles)

In this month of August it was raining quite a lot, so it was predictable that there would be mushrooms soon to come 🙂 the firsts I found at the local market were these very beautiful Chanterelles. These mushrooms are very good, personally I like them as much as the more valuable Porcini…but let me say…
